Jabari Parker Feud?

How did this tread become a trade discussion thread lol.

I think something based around Bradley for Parker makes a ton of sense, especially with Middleton coming back.

Mil - Bradley, Rozier, and the 2019 Memphis pick

Bos - Parker, Beasley

BOS -

PG: IT, Jackson
SG: Smart, Green
SF: Crowder, Brown
PF: Parker, KO/JJ
C: Horford, Amir

MIL -

PG: Rozier, Brogdon, Delly
SG: Bradley, Vaughn
SF: Middleton, Snell
PF: Ante, Teletovic
C: Henson, Monroe, Plumlee

That puts Middleton and Ante at their more natural forward positions, and it gives them a dangerous swing/forward lineup of Bradley, Middleton, and Ante at that crucial defensive area. It also adds quality shooting for them, which they desperately need in their starting lineup.

For us, I think this makes a ton of sense if we plan on keeping the Brooklyn pick and drafting a Fultz or Ball. It also moves Horford back to his natural position of center and gives us another significant scorer to go to at the end of games.

I think that won't be enough for Parker. If he gets on trade block there will be many offers from many teams and i bet few better than the one you proposed

I'd debate giving up the 2018 Brooklyn pick, but it would come at a cost for them.

Wow.  Parker is second from the WORST defensive PF in the league!!

BECAUSE it started as a trade discussion.

Parker for Thomas based deal would be intriguing for both sides.

I don't hate that deal, I'd like to add more pieces to get one of their bigs back in the deal. Monroe ideally...

but why isn't it a Philly discussion?

Jabari has been great offensively this season. The knock on him was he couldn't hit threes but he's been great shooting from three this year.  I guess defense is still a concern, but he seems to be living up to his billing as the next melo.

I would not read too much into this.

Remember that last year there was this DLo incident - analyzed at great lengths in the forums- and absolutely nothing came out of it.

Yeah, I get you. News is slow and our performances are underwhelming lately.

If I was Parker, I'd be a bit frustrated and feel overlooked already. But he might not be as selfish as I am. He is a talent who would fit us well, but the Bucks are unlikely to let him go for the next 6 years.

Thank you for the reply.

I wonder though why you think Parker might be frustrated. I think the Bucks deserve some credit for his successful recovery from the ACL tear.

If we don't trade for a Boogie type, then I'd love for something like this to go down. And I ultimately think it makes sense for both sides if Bradley would be willing to re-up with Milwaukee long-term.

And the Bucks would hang up on you...

The Bucks have no reason to move Parker. Middleton will take Snell's spot and they'll compete for a playoff spot. Giannis has been a revelation at PG.

If anything, they'll make a move for the playoffs. Maybe rent someone like Noel and make a run. With Middleton back and Giannis looking like an MVP candidate, they could be a real sleeper in the East.
